Lethbridge Polytechnic

Lethbridge Polytechnic (also known as LethPolytech), formerly Lethbridge College, is a public polytechnic institute located in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, with regional campuses in Claresholm, Vulcan, Pincher Creek, and the Crowsnest Pass.

Lethbridge Polytechnic is ranked as one of the top 50 research colleges in Canada and has over 6,900 students enrolled in more than 65 certificate, diploma, applied degree, bachelor's degree, pre-employment, and apprenticeship programs. Lethbridge Polytechnic is a member of the Rural Development Network.

Lethbridge Junior College was established in 1957 as the first publicly funded college in Canada. In 1969, in response to the opening of the University of Lethbridge, the college refined its mission and motivations, and changed its name to "Lethbridge Community College". On 14 February 2007, to mark its 50th anniversary, the college's Board of Governors voted to once again change its name, this time to "Lethbridge College".

On 25 June 2024, the Alberta government announced the college would become the province's newest polytechnic institute - Lethbridge Polytechnic, to reflect the institution's growth and ability to expand its programming.

Lethbridge Polytechnic offers preparatory studies, vocational training, and university transfer programs in 50 career fields, leading to one-year certificates, two-year diplomas, apprenticeships, and bachelor's degrees. Lethbridge Polytechnic provides applied bachelor's degrees and has transfer agreements with the University of Alberta, Athabasca University, University of Calgary, and University of Lethbridge for students who wish to transfer and/or further their studies with a bachelor's degree.

Lethbridge Polytechnic contains four academic centres which deliver its educational programs:

Lethbridge Polytechnic's main campus is in Lethbridge, with regional campuses in Claresholm, Vulcan, Pincher Creek, and the Crowsnest Pass.

Lethbridge Polytechnic competes in the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference. The college fields men's and women's teams in basketball, soccer, volleyball, golf and cross country running. The teams are known as the Kodiaks.
